Abstract
A detection method for DNA sequence-specificity in a homogeneous medium is presented with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as optical probes on the basis of the measurements of light scattering signals. ssDNA can prevent MWCNTs from coagulation in electrolyte solution while dsDNA cannot, displaying different light scattering signals. With the light scattering signals, target DNA in the range of 8.6-86.4 nM could be detected and one base pair mismatch could be discriminated. The sequence specificity for the present method has been identified with PCR products.
